It is likely you are familiar with the superyacht milk-run: cruising along the 5,000 nautical miles from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, but what about the emerging path being increasingly explored by our industry?
Key decision-makers We will bring together stakeholders from around the Pacific region, with key industry leaders, influencers and advisors from across the world congregating to map out the long-term future of one of the most exciting client cruising grounds in the market.
